Surnames: Gibson, Bishop Classification: Query Message Board URL: http://boards.ancestry.com/mbexec/msg/rw/3AB.2ACI/6884.1 Message Board Post: Larry: I loved Onie Gibson, he was such a character, he and his wife Ruby "Bishop" Gibson lived on Highway 38, just a few yards from the Brookside Commisary and post office.He was a coal miner at Harlan Collieries Coal Company, located in Brookside. He was alway smiling and was a friend to all. I don't recall them moving but that is possable, a lot of union men left in the sixties because they refused to scab for the coal operators. I knew Gloria Jean very well his daughter. Onie's children went to Ages grammer school and Evarts High School. I only knew the last two children, Onie and Gloria Jean. On Saturday, all the miners dressed up and hung around the Commissary, to chat and find out the latest gossip. I believe at one time Onie worked at the Commissary, on the Harlan Research site, is a section covering Brookside, and with photos and other information. http://www.rootsweb.com/~kyharlan/brooksideagesky.html Children of Onie and Ruby "Bishop" Gibson These are listed in the Ky Births for Ruby Bishop.
